Del Mar

This was hands down the best paella I’ve ever had! The flavors were rich, the seafood was fresh, and the texture was just perfect. The service was amazing — we were lucky to be served by Rodrigo, who was incredibly attentive and kind. He could tell we needed help just from a glance and was always there before we even had to ask. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a great vibe and a beautiful setting. We felt so comfortable and well taken care of. Highly recommended!

We ordered a few drinks and shared several absolutely delicious dishes. Had such a lovely time here—the food was amazing! Every dish had great flavor, and I really enjoyed how the ingredients came together in every bite. It felt authentic and well thought-out. The service was also excellent. We’re definitely coming back next time!

This place is amazing and the service unparalleled. The food taste delicious and you can tell they put a lot of effort on the ingredient preparation and the presentation. We sat at the bar for happy hour and we had a great time our server/ bartenders were so friendly a d had great recommendations on food and drinks. The views are phenomenal right across from the restaurant. Everything paired up well with that Tempranillo wine. We will be back next time we are in town.

I serve at a James Beard nominated restaurant so I have a special appreciation for food and service. José served my girlfriend and I and did an incredible job. He was kind, personable and had an impressive understanding of what he was serving. His food knowledge and his attention to detail were superb. The food was exceptional. Very talented chef and kitchen staff. Drinks were perfect. Great experience.

Easily one of the best dining experiences in DC! Wow. Del Mar absolutely blew me away. From the second we walked in, everything was just right. The vibe is incredible — so warm, tasteful, and inviting. It was packed and buzzing, but somehow still felt cozy and intimate. Not every place pulls that off, but Del Mar nails it. The service? Impeccable. Luis, the GM, and AGM made us feel like absolute VIPs — so friendly, so on point, without ever being over the top. And the food… honestly, I don’t even know where to begin. Every dish was next-level. The sooersata? Yummm. The shrimp crudo? Fresh, light, and bursting with flavor. Don’t even get me started on the seafood paella — smoky, rich, perfectly cooked… just WOW. Desserts were insane, and we finished off with a killer cheese plate and vintage sherry — literally the cherry on top. This place is going to be like a favorite song — one I’ll keep coming back to, again and again. If you haven’t been, go. You’re in for something special.

I attended a group dinner with a special menu. But the service staff menu and interior. This restaurant made an outstanding experience! Quite possibly one of the best Spanish potato omelets I've ever had. I don't think I've ever reviewed how good artichoke was before, but this restaurant did a great job with that appetizer. I've never been a big fan of flan but the way this restaurant does it may have changed my mind. Highlight of the dinner was the introduction to Estrella Spanish draft beer!
